About Chicken masala

Chicken Masala is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, known for its rich and aromatic spices. The dish typically features tender pieces of chicken cooked in a spiced tomato-based curry sauce, often seasoned with ingredients like garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder. Cream or yogurt is sometimes added for a smooth texture. High in protein from the chicken, the dish also provides essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B6, phosphorus, and zinc. The spices used are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, depending on the preparation, added cream or butter can increase the calorie and fat content. For a healthier option, opting for reduced-fat dairy or skipping the cream can make it more nutritious without sacrificing flavor. Often paired with rice or flatbreads, Chicken Masala is a comforting and wholesome meal enjoyed worldwide.
